Assemblies .NET Framework 4.5 not installed in GAC

I've been using Essential Studio for a couple of years and over time I have installed several versions without any problems.
To free up space on my computer a few months ago I uninstalled some versions of Essential Studio, but recently I had to install an old version (14.4.0.15) to do some fixes on code that still refer to that version.
The setup ends without errors, but the only version of the assemblies present in GAC is 14.4400.0.15 (referring to .NET framework 4.0) while I would also need version 14.4450.0.15 since my code uses the. NET Framework 4.5.
On the same computer I also installed Essential Studio 15.1.0.41 and 15.2.0.40, and for those in GAC there are also assemblies for the .NET framework 4.5.

I attach a screenshot of what I see in GAC for Syncfusion.Core (just as an example).

I tried to run the setup with "Install Syncfusion Samples", "Register Syncfusion Assemblies in GAC" and "Configure Syncfusion Controls in Visual Studio Toolbox" (I usually install Essential Studio only with the "Register Syncfusion Assemblies in GAC" option) but I have the same problem.

The strange thing is that version 14.4.0.15 had already installed it on my computer last December without problems, but to free up disk space I had uninstalled it.
The setup used is always the same, we have a local copy downloaded on 12/16/2016, and the only components installed are Windows Forms and WPF.

The only difference is that I have now also installed Visual Studio 2017 (while in December I had only installed Visual Studio 2015).


Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for the answer, I followed the instructions and installed the assemblies in all versions of the .NET framework.

I just have another question: if I need to install another old version of Essential Studio (eg 14.4.0.20), do I need installInfoLibrary.dll assemblies for the specific version?


Thanks in advance

Hi Roberto,

Thanks for your update.

Yes, all the Syncfusion Essential Studio are Version Specific and you have to use the v14.4.0.20 InstallInfoLibrary.dll if are going to install v14.4.0.20 Essential Studio setup.

Please download the updated v14.4.0.20 InstallInfoLibrary.dll from the below link and follow the same steps we suggested before.
